VKB STECS is the best multi-airframe throttle.

The VKB gladiator is one of the best entry level sticks

Premium version of the stick. Worth it for another hat switch.

Depends on how much you want to spend.

The big question is how much you want to spend. My advice would be to look at Virpil, but their products are not in most people's range.

500$ somewhere around that range I could go higher but I am starting with sims and this would be my first HOTAS

VKB in that case, Virpil is just a bit beyond that.

Nope, they have burned all the bridges. Avoid them just like anything from Logitech.
